  3. “Holbrooke had a lonely death — abandoned by his president, overtaken by his times. In extremis, a doctor tells him to relax. “I can’t relax. I’m in charge of Afghanistan and Pakistan,” he says before going into the operating theater never to awaken. Reading this, I wept.”

  4. “As Tony Lake, Bill Clinton’s national security adviser and a former friend whom Holbrooke alienated through his behavior, observed: ‘What Holbrooke wants attention for is what he’s doing, not what he is. That’s a very serious quality and it’s his saving grace.’” ~

  5. “‘Try to separate the best from the worst — you can’t,’ Packer writes. Holbrooke, so split, emerges as ‘almost great.’ “This is another unfashionable view in a time of shrieking certainties. The notion that people contain multitudes, not all of them pretty.” ~

  6. “Another 100,000 human beings are alive today in the Balkans because of Richard Holbrooke. I will never forget it. He deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Barack Obama, later his chilly nemesis, would win one just for existing. Nobody ever said life is just.”

    'You had a law that could have been passed yesterday. That would've required...a candidate or a campaign to report illegal actions to the FBI and Mitch McConnell and Marsha Blackburn and the Republican Party of Trump opposed that. Let that sink in for a while.'--

    “Today, as old men, we remain a unique band of brothers and occasionally reminisce about our war. We all sincerely hope that those who send today’s and tomorrow’s soldiers into battle will listen — and comprehend the tragic cost of combat.”
